Meanwhile, another strange plot unfolds when Polish characters and giant rabbits appear in a weird variation of a TV sitcom." Ah ... so Lynch.

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Helvetica starting at 8 p.m. and again on Sunday at 5 p.m. Again I will lazily quote from the Eastman House calendar: "this documentary details the amazing history and proliferation of the most ubiquitous typeface in the world: Helvetica. Wonderfully informative and unexpectedly funny, Helvetica features lively commentary from influential designers including Hermann Zapf, Massimo Vignelli, Tobias Frere-Jones, and Michael Beirut." Typeface designer Charles Bigelow will introduce the film tonight.
